Hoi Polloi is still interested in <u>FREE FORM</u>, in possibly a  <br>
$5 or $6 package, so as not to conflict with Bill Knox.  <br>
Phil had worked up some wooden puzzles for Hoi Polloi  <br>
to sell at about $3. Reiss showed them to buyers at  <br>
a Chicago Show. They thought they were too expensive.  <br>
They [illegible crossed out] (Hoi Polloi) are very anxious for wooden  <br>
items in the $1 and $2 range.  <br>
When Phil leaves Hoi Polloi there are a number of manufacturers  <br>
who want him to work on development for  <br>
fees and royalties. He wants me to get into this with  <br>
him and we'll talk about it next month.  <br>
Yesterday he showed me a box he had devised to be folded  <br>
from a single piece of cardboard, which does the same  <br>
job as the three pieces used in <u>THE 9TH DIMENSION TAROT</u>.  <br>
This is for the <u>TAROT</u> deck Hoi Polloi is putting out.
Working on equipment for <u>FOREIGN INTRIGUE</u>. Finished the  <br>
cards and made up a sheet with four diagrams for  <br>

sheets of plastic which he gets in hardware stores. It can  <br>
be bought from  <br>

When Al showed me his first <u>PUZZLE</u> I told him about  <br>
<u>THE 19TH HEX</u>.  <br>
Played <u>JET HOLIDAY</u>, including (9 yr. old) Brian. He came in  <br>
second. Al won.  <br>
The four of us played <u>LANDSLIDE</u>. Not bad. Al won.  <br>
<u>Bob Hallowell</u> showed me two of his new products.
